Can you believe we’re coming up on six years since I first started Project Why Wait? I hardly can and I’ve been the one doing it. But at the start of 2021 it’s felt like the end is finally coming into focus. To help relight a fire within the project Jeff Wybrow and I hatched…
I was warned. I was warned that few things throw off a timeline more than rust repair. But, I was optimistic and admittedly a little naive when I muttered every weekend warrior’s famous last words; ‘how bad could it be?’ After all my truck is a western truck and they don’t use salt in the west….
When we last left Project Why Wait I had just manged to recover from an *ahem* slight miscalculation of rear shock placement. That little snafu necessitated a few steps backward, and a lot of sanding to course correct. I’d love to say that this update doesn’t include a fair bit of sanding, but I don’t fancy…
There are some people who make building a car a very public spectacle. I’m not talking about those who share their builds in order to benefit others and get help along the way, I’m talking about people who tease endlessly and boisterously make claims that their project is going to ‘kill the game’ and ‘set the standard’. Then there…
Mini Moto Lab‘s latest build, Ms. Fat Booty, started out as a small side project for co-owner Anthony’s girlfriend to cruise around on and was nearly completed four years ago before life got in the way and the build was torn apart and shoved in a box. Brought back out years later as a much…
Being one of the most well-known Rangers to come out of Ontario Gary’s truck really needs no introduction. It’s appeared here in event coverage several times over, and been featured by a few other noteworthy media outlets. About a week ago Rob Anzit, of Basic Builds, got some one-on-one time with the truck and produced…
It seems cliché to say it, especially considering how often I say it when I post this car but, Brad’s LS3 powered Miata is one of the best built driven cars I’ve come across. Brad’s car also has the distinction of being one of the few cars I vividly remember seeing for the first time…
The last Project Why Wait update marked the first time the cab made an appearance since 2016. If you were excited for more metal work I’m sorry. It’s coming, but for this post the cab is back in the corner while I button up a bit more of the chassis. The chassis is currently on the…
Sitting in the deep bucket Bride seat as we moved from the first shoot location to the next, it became immediately apparent to me that the 240 featured today is a driver’s car. The ride is firm, there’s a satisfying clunk when put into gear and the sound of the L28 motor tempts you to…
Kustoms Never Die, those exact words adorn the inside cover of my own personal copy of the Jalopy Journal. Figuratively, that phrase means the art of customizing cars –in the traditional custom with a ‘K’ sense– will never go out of style or fade from memory. Every kustom car, still with us or not, is remembered…
